--- Comment #6 from Alexander Cherepanov <ch3root at openwall dot com> ---
Ok, what about this:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
   long double d;
   char s[sizeof(long double)];

   memcpy(&d, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA", sizeof d);
   memcpy(&s, &d, sizeof s);

   printf("%s\n", s);
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Results:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
$ gcc -std=c11 -pedantic -Wall -Wextra test.c && ./a.out
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

$ gcc -std=c11 -pedantic -Wall -Wextra -O3 test.c && ./a.out
AAAAAAAA
----------------------------------------------------------------------

gcc version: gcc (GCC) 7.0.0 20160608 (experimental)
